Cinnamon Apples are perfect way to use all those fantastic fresh apples right now. They are one of our favorite treats, perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even served alongside fried chicken with dinner. They’re super versatile too- feel free to swap in your favorite apple or whatever variety you happen to have on hand. The increased heat at the end helps give the apples a deeper flavor- try it! Scroll down to see a video I made that shows just how to whip these up too!

How do I fry cinnamon apples?

Frying apples is easy! Heat up a skillet, then melt butter and add apples. The time it takes to fry the apples will vary depending on how large the apple slices are, but generally they’ll be done in 10-15 minutes.

How do you cook apples on the stove?

I like to use a cast iron skillet to make fried apples on the stove. It retains heat well which means the apples cook evenly. A regular black cast iron skillet will sear the apples more, resulting in darker brown edges that have a wonderful rich, buttery taste. Enamled cast iron pans heat more evenly and will not leave brown edges. I like both- the pan I use just depends on how large a batch I’m doing. See below for the full recipe and instructions on how to cook the apples.

How do you make cinnamon apples?

You can fry apples in butter and not add anything else, but I love adding spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavors blend well together and taste so good! I also like the sweet syrup the spices create. Drizzle it on top of the apples just before serving to add a lovely flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices as you’d like.
